AnalysisAI
Bleichenbacher oracle in OpenSSL's CMS_decrypt() and PKCS7_decrypt() functions exposes RSA-encrypted message content to unauthenticated remote attackers who can submit adaptive chosen-ciphertext queries against multi-RecipientInfo CMS/PKCS7 structures. Four active OpenSSL branches are affected (3.4.x, 3.5.x, 3.6.x, and 4.0.x), with patches released under the coordinated OpenSSL security advisory on 2026-06-09. …

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires that the target application expose CMS_decrypt() or PKCS7_decrypt() over a network-accessible interface where the attacker can both submit arbitrary multi-RecipientInfo RSA ciphertext messages and observe distinguishable decryption outcomes (success vs. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 3.7 Low score is internally consistent: AV:N confirms network reachability, but AC:H captures the inherent difficulty of the Bleichenbacher technique - tens of thousands to millions of adaptive oracle queries are typically required, generating significant detectable traffic. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker with network access to an S/MIME gateway, CMS-based key management service, or PKCS7 decryption endpoint crafts a sequence of multi-RecipientInfo CMS messages with systematically varied RSA ciphertexts, submitting thousands of adaptive queries and observing whether CMS_decrypt() or PKCS7_decrypt() returns a success or failure response for each. By analyzing the binary oracle output across many iterations, the attacker progressively narrows the RSA plaintext space and ultimately recovers the session key or encrypted message content. … |
| Remediation | Upgrade to the vendor-released patched versions: OpenSSL 4.0.1 for the 4.0.x branch, 3.6.3 for 3.6.x, 3.5.7 for 3.5.x, or 3.4.6 for 3.4.x, as specified in the vendor advisory at https://openssl-library.org/news/secadv/20260609.txt. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
